Description

Synopsis: In this last episode of the season, which is the last season of the first year of this podcast, I reflect on the year as a whole and on the role of this podcast in my year. If this episode is more “rambly” than usual, it’s only because I had a lot to say, and had to decide (in real time) what ought to be said, and how. Shlomo ha’Melech says: “there is a time to be silent and a time to speak” (Koheles 3:7). I conclude this podcast by stating what my plan is for the summer, as far as this podcast and the rest of my Torah content is concerned.  Related Rabbi Schneeweiss Content:- How to Enjoy the Present Day As If It’s Your Last (Aurelius – Meditations 7:69)- “The Sacred Pause” in Light of Stoicism and Judaism (Epictetus – Discourses 2:18)- Playing with Torah Sources: - Aurelius, Meditations 12:23- Epictetus, Enchiridion (The Handbook) 17- Seneca, Letter #2- Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance ----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss. I am, first and foremost, an Orthodox Jew. My primary area of focus is the teachings of Shlomo ha'Melech (King Solomon) in Mishlei (Proverbs) and Koheles (Ecclesiastes). I also consider myself to be a student of the Stoic masters: Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Over the past two decades I have been exploring the relationship between Judaism and Stoicism - where they overlap, where they differ, and how they complement each other. This year I started a daily reading of Marcus Aurelius with an aim to explore these questions. I'll read a passage from Aurelius's Meditations and then muse (or meditate aloud) on my thoughts about what he said and what the Torah would have to say. As Seneca taught: "Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have run over many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day" (Letter #2). If this podcast serves that purpose, then it will have been of value.
